STARVATION IN RUSSIA
IN SPITE OF ALL AID
Estimated That Two Million Will Suffer From Hunger This Winter
MOSCOW, Oct. 19—Despite all help coming from America, at least 25 per cent of the children within the famine region are doomed to death.
The people who probably will die during this winter of starvation may be estimated at one million and a half to two million. The percentage of the dying will be greater than the one goes into the cities, while children near the cities will be easier reached through the American Reserves.
The government being aware of this is trying to evacuate the children near to the cities. The mothers don't protest if the children are taken away from them, as they rather save their children and die there.
When the Volga freezes there will be thousands dying without being heard of.
This terrible outlook is, despite the fact that Soviet Russia takes all the care possible of her soldiers, it is what the Sovi cannot give them—food.
All the villas and palaces of the former wealthy class are filled with the happy youngsters, with their deep fatalistic Russian eyes. What ever there may be available in Russia in the way of food, clothing and other things which make the life of a child worth while living, is given to them. "Children first" is the age group of everyone. In Moscow, homes are hundreds of children's homes, the kids not only being fed, but also educated. All these children are using the "Internationale" and other revolutionary songs. Soviet Russia is raising a communist generation.
Children's homes are being established all over the country, even in the smallest cities. When I visited the city of Samara, I saw a children's colony of 50 houses aloned the banks of the river, where people spend the summer. All of these children look honed, bright-eyed and healthy.
children's homes, besides one hospital for the children. This hospital, however, was filled with makeshift diaries and dissenting voices. If American mothers and children could only have seen the sad, dog-like eyes with which the children followed us when they heard we had come to investigate what American children see in their lives. American children we will never forget what they will do for us and if we are grown up, we will petals thank them personally," one child told us. The fact that there were no tears made me realize that I am in the Russian character to endure without complaining. He is a fatalist.
Even at the city of Stavropol, of 10,000 inhabitants, there were six children's homes, besides one hospital.
Robert W. Diver, Medic, Was Decorated Three Times
WORLD WAR HERO FOUND
Robert Warren Diver, second yea medical student, vocational man, and member of Phi Beta Pi, medical fraternity, holds three decorations for bravery in action—the Croix de Guerre, the Distinguished Service Cross, and the Congressional Meda Honor!
Diver served in France with the 81st Company of the 6th Marines. He was severely wounded, receiving a bullet from a German Lager pistol in his thigh. He then had his arm almost shot away by two severe high explosive shells; a German bayonet cut his shoulder slipped down his body and entered his knee; he was struck by shrapnel; and on son of all thethes, he had the
The French government decorated $4 Diver with Croix de Guerre for heroism at Vierzy, in the Soissons sector, July 19, 1918. He received the American Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism at Limey, in the St. Milhoff offensive on September 12, 1918.
The Congressional Medal—more commonly known as the Medal of Honor—was conferred on Diver for "extraordinary and exceptional bravery on the field of action." It was in the St. Mihil offensive also that Diyar performed the act of bravery that gained him the Congressional Medal of Honor, which is the highest honor offered by the United States Government for bravery.
According to a recent ruling of the War Department, all holders of the Medal of Honor are offered a trip to Washington, all expenses paid, to witness the burial of his soldier in memorial. When he if intended to take advantage of this opportunity, Diver said: "Much as I would like to go to
Washington, I feel that I cannot well afford to miss out on the work of my course, and I do not think I will be able to make the trip."
Diver was awarded vocational training by the Government while he was in the hospital recovering from his wounds, and since discharge from the hospital, has been in this institution studying medicine.

WOMEN SPECULATORS IN WAKE OF FAMINE
This New Type Has Been Created by Food Shortage and Poverty
By JOHN GRAUDENZ.
(United Press Staff Correspondent).
Moscow, (By Mail) — Food-abundance and poverty in Russia has created a new type of people—the speculators, as the Russians call them. One finds them in great numbers at the Smolensky Rinke (market), but also at even more remote sites — the敷业们 are professionalists, but the greatest have become peddlers or street trafficians during and since the revolution. They come from all stations of life, and one often comes across a duchesse, a countess, not to mention a commoner, an ordinary figure within this line.
It usually happens this way: a housewife, worn out by the sorrows of daily life, moneyless and hungry, collects all her courage and goes to the market to sell some odd article of her probably former luxurious household. She stands in line at the market for a sweater; she finds a buyer for her stuff who either just in need of such an article or seizes a bargain.
The seller, happy to have some money to keep her going and glad to escape what she still considers a humiliation, promises herself never again will she go there. She don't, until the money is gone. This time she raises her price a bit, witted by experience. So it goes on until she has perhaps nothing more to sell. By this time she has lost all false shame and fear that no longer has friends from her less courageous neighbors and selling them at a profit, thus making an otherwise unbearable life somewhat easier.
I met many women on whose faces were written better days who had established regular booths, displaying all kinds of odd articles. The market goes on daily from eight a.m. until six p. m.
I had a hard time to get away
with my own camera, which at least a dozen persons insisted in buying from me. "Skoke? (how much) they asked, taking hold of the camera dangling from my arm, and were utterly astonished. I heard no business not for sale."
A different type are the thousands of street traffickers hudding around every corner offering poorly made sweets, bread cigarettes and pastries made at home. Hargag-looking housewives drink or send out their children. German, sacharin seems to be a much asked for article.
Since the reintroduction of free trade, enterprise youngsters have taken to the flower trade. If you ride a drosky—especially with a female companion—it is next to impossible unless you decide to use hard words.
Money can buy everything today in Russia, just as anywhere else in the world. With the exception of booze, perhaps, there is hardly an article which one would not find either at the markets or on the streets of Moscow, be it French perfume or a toothbrush, a silk stocking or a smoking jacket, a safety razor or American condensed milk. I saw many a pair of brown army shoes with the United States stamped in the solex. There also were samplers of gold, trench-coats and many other articles 'aimilar to an American.
Besides the dozen good restaurants, a large number of coffee houses are open, and many of them equipped with the best orchestras. I ever heard. They play the latest Berlin tunes as well as American rattles.

Pi Forsakes Studies To Engage In An Affair Of Honor, Loses Part In Ku Ku's Preformanc
Pi is in the hospital. It all happened like this. Pi is growing old, but Pi must preserve his pride and his dignity. While he much prefers to travel peacefully to and from classes, morning and afternoon, and has definitely forsaken the warp for his scholastic pursuits, still there are apparently some students who can gently canine can allow to pass without making it an affair of honor. Therefore, last Friday afternoon, when another well-known dog-about-town offered Pi a serious affront, war to the teeth was precipitated.
Pi, being slow of eye and fang as a result of advanced years, seems to have gotten the worse of him since he came back from his hospital head. Although he had managed to

By Saturday morning Pi's right fore leg was badly swollen, and showing signs of infection. So the patient was called, and Pi went to the hospital.
All indications are that the directory will be ready for distribution about the middle of November. This is somewhat sooner than it would

The high character of tailoring for men that has brought unquestioned leadership to Ed. V. Price & Co., has also attracted numerous orders in the past few years for garments for women. This experience has caused them to consider the establishment of a regular department for taking care of such orders. They are showing the Greatcoat, Overcoat, Knicker Coat, Knickers and Knicker Vest. These can be made from any of all wool samples shown in the line. However, information will be given on some of the most fashionable fabrics from which women's garments should be tailored. You are invited to take advantage of this department and I will be glad to show you the latest smart styles just received.
